Utah is posting record hospitalizations, according to the Utah Department of Health. Conspiracy theorists have tried to enter hospitals to prove that the COVID-19 case surge is a hoax. Utah is recruiting medical professionals from out of state, reports Business Insider. 85% of ICU beds are currently being used, with almost half being COVID-19 related.
